Chapter 711 Poor
"Vera, are you looking for me?"
When she opened the door and came in, Ruola saw the girl and the priest discussing something. She said slightly apologetically, "Maybe I'll come in later."
"It's okay, Miss Ruola, our discussion is over." Father Miro straightened up, crossing his hands in front of him. On the black priest's robe, the silver-white cross reflects colorful light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Vera also stood up, and when she walked around in black and black dress, she looked like a billowing black cloud.
"Miss Ruola, you look good." Vera smiled slightly.
===m; Ruola is indeed in good spirits, since the night of the scriptures. Determined to regain her strength, she began to go to the barracks every day, firstly to re-manage Shen Hailin Ji, and secondly to re-train her sword skills and physical fitness. After these days, her skin was darker than before, but it was not as sickly pale as it was back then. Her skin also regained its radiance. Even though it was already winter, she was still wearing a set of sky blue armor. The two long legs extending from under the skirt armor exposed her satin-like smooth thigh skin to the air.
"I've almost recovered, and now even if I lead the army to fight, there is no problem." Reverting to her former bold appearance, Ruo La is now amazingly charming.
The priest and Vera smiled at each other, and Milo stepped forward and said, "That's really great."
Ruola looked at the two of them puzzled.
Vera explained: "Just now, I received a message from Sir Edward. He has retreated to Earl Giles' retreat for us. A troop sent by Earl Reckerd was defeated at the border of the Unicorn. Now Earl Giles Alone and helpless, Sir Edward believes it is time for this to end. The people of Arkport need a new and benevolent lord, not Lord Giles."
The priest emphasized: "Miss Zola, people need you."
Ruola's chest heaved, she was ready to cut off relations with Giles, but at this time, she was a little hesitant. She smiled reluctantly: "Can't we negotiate with him? If he can voluntarily give up the earl position..."
"Miss Ruola." Father Miro said solemnly: "Ask yourself, would Earl Giles do this? Under all kinds of domination, his heart has been completely tainted by darkness. Look at what he has done, from As of yesterday, our lord earl has killed nearly 20 civilians with extremely cruel means. At least 70% of them are women. The families of these innocent people have suffered great grief, and they are waiting It's up to you to do justice."
"But he belongs to my brother after all..."
"Miss Rola,
He's not the Giles you knew. "Vera reminded: "Think about the things he did to you, do you think Giles would have done it if he was replaced by the old one? "
"But after all, I have a marriage contract with Huo Yi's son. It is impossible to stay in Ark Port, let alone take care of this territory." Ruo La threw out all his concerns.
"You don't have to worry about this, Miss." Father Miro smiled and said, "Count Aubain doesn't only have Gilles as a son. Miss Ruola can choose a more suitable candidate from among them to assist him until he reaches adulthood, and then He will officially inherit the title of earl. During this period, our church is willing to provide all assistance and ensure that the new earl will not go astray."
"In that case..." Ruo La bit her lips, "Okay, when will you act?"
"Tonight." Father Miro smiled and said, "Earl Giles has guarded the White Castle layer by layer. We need to break his shell."
"How many people do I need to transfer from Deep Sea Linji?"
"No, Miss." Vera shook her head and said, "Our crusaders are responsible for attacking the White Castle, but everyone in the Deep Sea Lin Ji is still responsible for maintaining the order of the city. It is necessary to guard the gates of the city tightly, and don't let some people take advantage of the chaos. escaped."
Ruola knew that they arranged this way to avoid fighting with Giles to the greatest extent possible. She nodded: "Let's do this, I'll go back to the barracks to arrange it first."
"I'll take you out." Milo said.
Today's White Castle is like an isolated island. Giles armed it with steel and blades, refusing the gaze of the outside world with coldness and cruelty. It is located in the Ark Harbor, but it is no longer in people's hearts. After the brave, wise and hard-working Earl of Aubain passed away, there was no more Earl in Arkport. Gilles' intensification after the Day of the Holy Code has made people reluctant to recognize the lord.
If Ruola hadn't stood up, people might have petitioned the empire and even rioted.
But now, at least the order in Ark Harbor can still be maintained. It's just that there are obviously many more soldiers on the street. The gate of the White Fort has not been opened for a long time, and the personnel in the fort come in and out through the side door or the back door. In the castle with its locked gates, the atmosphere seemed oppressive. The blood wolf knights responsible for protecting the castle were all listless. They began to doubt the necessity of protecting the castle.
It's just that the object of their oath of allegiance is Reckerd, not Giles, so when Lanza ordered them, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to stay at their posts.
Lanza was looking anxious in his room, and he had already sent Lance several confidential letters. And no matter whether they send people or use birds to send messages, in the end, all the information is like mud into the sea. The people who were sent out were nowhere to be found, and even the bird that delivered the letter never flew back. It seems that there is a fog outside the White Castle, and there is a bottomless abyss under the fog. This situation is extremely abnormal, and the only explanation is that the opponent's actions have already cut off all their information exchanges.
But Lanza knew that Earl Reckard had sent an army to support them, and it was time for this army to reach the Unicorn Territory. And not long ago, Lance also sent him a message, claiming that the Viscount Ente had returned to the earl. In this way, the situation on their side should be very good, why can't they even send out the information at this moment?
At this moment Gilles' grumpy voice sounded: "Lanza, where are you, Lanza? Get over here!"
Lanza sighed, just yesterday, after the old butler Metz left the castle on the pretext of shopping, he never came back. Now all the big and small affairs in the castle fall on Lanza's head, but Giles's temperament has changed drastically now, and he is prone to anger and murder. Although Lan Zha originally wanted Giles to become such a waste, but when he really asked himself to serve such a master, Lan Zha almost wanted to stab Giles to death more than outsiders.
Of course, this can only be thought about. He shook his head and left the room.
In Gilles' bedroom, a woman is tied up. The earl fixed her hands and feet to the four corners of the big bed with belts, and let the woman spread out in a large font. With no clothes on, everything about a woman is exposed. The woman on the bed had dull eyes, her pretty face was covered with tears, and there were various wounds on her body. These wounds are not fatal, but enough to torture people.
When he saw this woman, Lanza almost thought that he had gone to the wrong room and got into the interrogation of some prison.
Gilles' psychology has been distorted like a devil, and he is venting his resentment towards Ruola on every woman he can get his hands on. If it was said that Lanza could find him two prostitutes not long ago, now, if he wants to get a woman for the count, he can only rob it like a robber.
The woman on the bed was snatched by the blood wolf knight from a small village more than ten miles away last night. Although the knight had to carry out Lanza's order, this kind of banditry obviously violated the knight's principles, which made the knights quite dissatisfied. Now, this doll, which was snatched at the expense of the knight's dignity, looked like it was going to be ruined by Giles.
Giles threw the dagger in his hand to Lanza's feet: "This thing is blunt, go get me a sharper one. I just thought of another game, oh, it's better to have serrated ones, that will make the game more interesting."
He said all this with a smile.
Lan Zha shuddered from the bottom of his heart. Is this devil-like man in front of him really the ambitious but restrained Gilles from before? He lowered his head, thinking that this was not exactly what Earl Reckerd wanted. A demonic lord, then there will be no objection to the count's execution of justice afterwards.
He picked up the dagger and was about to back off.
"Wait." Gilles frowned, "When will Reckerd's army arrive? I'm already tired of playing in White Castle. And those untouchables have not accepted any sanctions so far. If I don't do anything else, they will Thought I was a cowardly lord."
The count glanced at the woman on the bed: "Do you see that? I'm going to lock up all those untouchables and kill every guy who dares to question me. Well, killing one every day should be enough for me to play for a long time. "
He laughed wildly.
Lan Zha sighed, "Actually, I just wanted to tell my lord about this."
"What's the matter? I'm busy." Giles went to the bed, lifted the woman's waist, then leaned forward and began to fuck the woman, completely ignoring Lanza's eyes.
"I'm afraid something has changed about the earl's army."
Gilles froze, turned around and roared: "What is change? Lanza, didn't you tell me that everything is going well? I heard you say that yesterday, so you are going to tease me!"
"I don't dare. But today, I found that someone has cut off our communication, so I speculate that something happened to the Earl's army." Lan Zha gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I suggest leaving White Castle immediately. Take advantage of the weather At the end of the night, let's leave the city as soon as possible, otherwise there may be changes."
"Fart!" Giles yelled, leaving the woman's body and jumping out of bed. "This is my city. This is my territory. You tell me to leave? Lanza, is your head broken? I don't care, Call me an army immediately, I want to see who dares to mess around!"
Lan Zha gave him a pitiful look, nodded and left. After walking out, he said: "My dear count, there are only ten knights and twenty soldiers left in your army."
